This species is only known from five locations, two in Spain (Aubert 1963a, Tierno de Figueroa & Rodríguez-López 2011), two in the Rif (Aubert 1961, Errochdi & El Alami 2008, Errochi et al. 2014) and one in the surroundings of Rabat (Dakki 2009).

Ecology. Larvae are stenothermal, crenophilic and detritivores, occurring in mountain streams and springs. The adults emerge in spring (IV–VI) (Sánchez-Ortega & Tierno de Figueroa 1996, Errochdi et al. 2014).
